Michael Dorio, brother of Eagles of Death Metal drummer Julian Dorio, told Atlanta news outlet WSBTV that he spoke with his brother after the shooting.

He said they were playing, about six songs into the show, they heard, before they saw anything, they heard automatic machine gunfire. It was so loud, it was louder than the band, and they hit the stage floor. As they got up to try to evacuate they saw men with machine guns just shooting anything and everything in the venue. They heard more than they could see because of the stage lights.
